Roll Up Hurricane Storm Shutter Repair (Rolladen)

[@tooterplumber1128]

I always wondered where the motor was on them. thanks for the very informative and very well explained video.

[@tomanyan7547]

That's a no override motor always nice to have that hand crank option good video I've been doing shutters since I was in high school you would have to adjust the limit switches on a new motor

[@StellaKalogirouLetsTalkRealEst]

Thank you! This was very informative and helpful!

[@electronicsNmore]

@@StellaKalogirouLetsTalkRealEst Great to hear! Be sure to check out my very wide range of videos and share my channel with others. Thank you

[@monicachertok6319]

Thank you so much!! I just discovered you channel and I am so thankful. Before I pay thousands of dollars to replace my electronic shutter, I will try and fix it. Do you know anyone in Satellite Beach Florida that would be able to try and fix the shutter for me? Thank you.

[@hugoanson2135]

Thankyou; but when you slide the slats back into pisition, is there something in the design to be checked or fixed so the slat doesn't easily slide out of position again? Did I miss something or does it just work well until it shakes out of pisition?

[@unforgettablepromotionsinc4033]

How can we grease the parts? One of ours is making a really rough sound. Thank you very much!

[@electronicsNmore]

Probably the slats moved out of position and they're rubbing.

[@AllisonJohnson-h6v]

do you need a specific drill to take out the bolts? Ours is 20 years old

[@bencll]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@TG420_]

After removing the rivets. Could I replace them with screws?

[@elmateo624]

I have this exact same design in Puerto Rico. What’s the cure if the motor turns the shaft up and down, but the slats stay put? I evened out the slats laterally but no joy. I tried manually turn the roll, and still no. Thanks!

[@elmateo624]

I figured it out. The securing straps riveted to the “axle” were seperated allowing it to free spin. A great company in Miami had the replacement metal straps and all is well!!

[@electronicsNmore]

Thanks Juanita!

[@athenaprayer1117]

Hi!what if the slat of rolladen after storm bent in and wont go up and down anymor?

[@youqinf]

I have an exact old style shutter in Galveston, TX, which is not working recently. Your video tells me how to open it, but I didn't see how to install the cover by with what kind of screws. Please share.

[@youqinf]

It is in down position. It clicks and clicks and just doesn't roll up when you turn on the power

[@electronicsNmore]

Yours may vary. I had stainless steel sheet metal screws holding the cover on. #10 x 5/8

[@mrddarko1982]

how can i get my shutters on a electronic system instead of the inside manual roll up?

[@tectalabyss]

Hi Doug. One would think the company would have added guilds to keep the slates in place. Great fix and explanation has always. All my best. Bobby

[@electronicsNmore]

Bobby Tectalabyss Hey Bobby. I'm sure newer versions have them, or the ends of the slats have plastic inserts to keep them in position.

[@sc666666]

When it wasn’t working in the up mode but did in the down mode, did the motor make any noise at all when you tried to turn it up?

[@electronicsNmore]

It made noise up and down, but when it reached a certain point going up, the motor stopped.

[@sc666666]

electronicsNmore thanks. Mine goes down perfectly but makes no noise at all when I try to move it up. I have to use it manually to raise it

[@emilykethler5230]

Hi Doug - I was impressed by your video on the hurricane shutter repair. I have a similar looking one that is hank crank...probably from the mid 90’s? One of them is stuck in the down position and I am wondering how to repair the manual operated one like I have. Trying to avoid having the shutter company come and completely remove unless it is not worth repairing. Location is Cape Cod. Do you have an email address I could send pics to? Thank you!

[@electronicsNmore]

You need to remove the cover. It's possible one slat is jamming it up.

[@emilykethler5230]

I actually removed the crank handle from the inside of house ... it wasn’t catching the gear. I have a pic of it - not sure if the gear is also seized but looks like the end of crank that slips into gear may have rusted and broke or just wore off enough where it doesn’t catch in the gear. Channel . Could I put something like tape around the end of crank handle to make it bigger and see if it catches ? Trying to avoid just having the shutter removed and trashed as that costs a pretty penny in itself! Thanks for your help ! I have pics if you have an email,

[@emilykethler5230]

Also I really appreciated your tip to drill out and replace rusted screws with stainless steel - is there a particular size screw that is best? Thanks so much

[@tapuchan200]

Is there a way to keep the shutter sections from sliding to the side? I'm having that problem repeatedly.

[@electronicsNmore]

Make sure the slat that's bolted to the steel motor tube, is perfectly straight(level) on the tube. The side rails, where the slats enter, at the top, should have the aluminum bent outward to guide any slats out of position, back into line. Thanks for watching!

[@jciempre]

hi, is there any change of video about of remove the rolling shutter completely ? means not only repair the motor ? tks

[@electronicsNmore]

Hello. Removal is easy. Lower the shutter fully, then remove the screws securing the shutter to the 2 1/2" pipe. Next disconnect power and remove the wiring leading to the motor inside the tube. The entire assembly is held in with bolts at each end. Usually you remove one end and tilt the assembly down then pull it out from the opposite end. Thanks for watching!.

[@susieq5075]

one of my shutters seems to be catching on something when it goes up or down. theres a small amount of dirt coming out and making a pile on the balcony.

[@soundmiami]

It appears my cover is secured with pop rivets in place of screws! Was that a thing back then?

[@electronicsNmore]

Yes. Just drill them out and replace with #10 x 1/2" pan head stainless steel screws coated with anti-seize compound.

[@cvccrs9697]

Why would cause a shutter to randomly close? Ours just started closing for no reason. You can toggle the switch to open it back up, and it will stay open, but then the next day or a couple days later, it will close again.

[@laharl2k]

That looks like it has 50 years plus. What kind of humidity does that? Here we have 70-80% most of the year and do not get rust like that. Or maybe because of the rain and the cover not keeping it humid longer.

[@electronicsNmore]

Stainless steel screws eat away the aluminum when salt air/moisture is present. The ocean is 75 feet away from the rolling shutter.

[@johnnywalker9536]

@@electronicsNmore I work literally on the coast, screws rust super fast around here, it's job security, I guess lol

[@glengood7551]

Y d shutter roll up over come down n dont want to gi back up

[@tomanyan7547]

Limit switch or wire

[@doorguner01]

Florida?

[@electronicsNmore]

Yes

[@tellmesomething2go]

GOOD

[@riftvalley1765]

I need 10 of these motors

[@electronicsNmore]

Very expensive

[@intelagense7535]

7:28 ouch

[@electronicsNmore]

Why ouch?

[@intelagense7535]

bloody thumb from straightening those metal panels?

[@electronicsNmore]

No. LOL. That was grease. :-)

[@migsvensurfing6310]

These things are very expensive, I would have expected its metal parts to be galvanized.

[@electronicsNmore]

Yes, probably $1,500- $2,500 each for the size shown in this video. The steel parts probably were galvanized, but not a thick layer to stand up to years of salt air.

[@tomanyan7547]

Rolladen is out of business we carry their pvc slats and parts from ripping down old shutters

[@dennismartin5041]

I need some slats. Could you provide me information so I may purchase ?

[@veronicacsongradi4876]

I would like your information also please.

[@neonhd2694]

Hi electronicsNmore. I watched this your video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKPUqqGsnc15jqM and I started to making this levitation device for school project. Levitation device have two diode.One of this diodes is infrared LED 5mm 100mA and second diode is infrared fotodiode.I have question for infrared fotodiode.What are the specifications for that diodes. Pls answer. Thanks

[@electronicsNmore]

It's been a while since I made that, and I have it in storage so I cannot look. I think it was a BPW34 or a phototransistor(the dark epoxy type), Ebay sells BPW34's. :-)

[@shadowmaxgg]

1st

[@vegas005]

what a crappy design

[@electronicsNmore]

Agree. The slats should lock in position
